Following the first-generation Viper RT/10 Roadster and second-generation
Viper GTS Coupe, the third-generation Viper SRT10 retains the uncompromising
performance and subtle refinement that are at the heart of its character.
“It’s about passion as well as performance,” said Darryl Jackson, Vice President
at Dodge Marketing. “The Dodge Viper SRT10 continues to be developed by
car nuts who want to build the ultimate car for other car nuts -
the kind of enthusiasts who are passionate about what an American sports
car ought to be. That’s why Viper has always offered the highest performance
available - traffic-stopping looks, and a racing pedigree
that’s the envy of other makes.”
Jackson added, “The Viper is not only a standard-bearer for the Dodge brand
- it’s also the standard-bearer for every vehicle to wear the SRT badge.”
Bold Looks, No-Nonsense Appointments
Dodge Viper SRT10 styling builds on cues from the original, with the signature
crosshair grille design, deep-cut side scallops, swept-back fenders and lowered
hood lines. Advanced materials such as resin injection molded (RIM) and
sheet-molded composite (SMC) panels are used extensively, in the front and rear
fascia, deck lid, rear quarter panels, doors, hood, front fenders, cowl panel
and windshield frame. A true convertible, the Dodge Viper top is a bi-fold
design with a single center latch on the windshield header.
The Viper SRT10’s cockpit is notable for the race car-themed red push button
starter to get things going under the hood. Other race-inspired characteristics
are evident throughout the cockpit, which features a performance-oriented,
highly functional instrument panel with center-mounted tachometer and 220-mph
speedometer. ...Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible: Page 2
